Good day all. My name's Alex and I'm from the state of Washington and live on the beautiful Olympic Peninsula. I have been brewing for the last year or so, extract kits with steeping grains.
I brewed my first batch of beer 52 years ago when I was in high school, it was not very good IIRC. Years ago I dabbled in making wine and made some decent stuff, as well as some nice sparkling Meade.
I decided a year ago to get back into beer because there are so many good beers out there and beer offers so much possible variations, it's endless.
I started out with a Northern Brewer kit and have been going at it.
Yesterday I bottled an IPA and put up some chocolate milk stout which was bottled 3 weeks ago. The ingredients for a clone of Deshutes Brewing "Fresh Squeezed IPA are ready to go this week.
I just retired from 21 years with my local Sheriff's Office and anticipate more time to brew, but the honey do list is long, I must add.
I ran into this site by browsing for BIAB info and tips, I plan to get into all grain and have been looking at BIAB as the way to go.
Take care,
AlexM

Hello,

My name is Calvin, I'm from the St. Louis, MO area. I am still somewhat green when it comes to brewing. I recently have read through John Palmer's "How to Brew" and have completed two 1 gallon batches using extract kits from Northern Brewer. Both batches are still finishing up in primary and I'm looking forward to finding out how they have turned out. Bottling is planned for this next weekend!

BIAB seems like a good next step to get into AG brewing. I found biabrewer.info while researching BIAB tips across the web. I look forward to being a part of the community and learning what I can about this method.

Hi,Iam Antonio,I live in Milan,Italy.I'm starting in this days with biab.Sorry for my english.Bye

Hi everyone,

New member here from San Diego, CA. Been out of the homebrew game for about ten years and am pretty excited to be back in. I have to hand it to you Ozzies for developing the biab method! I never went all grain previously due to the complexity.

My current goal is to recreate my favorite IPA, Nelson IPA by Alpine Brewery here in San Diego. If I can get close, I think I will have learned a lot about IPA brewing in the process since it is one hell of an IPA.

As a new biab brewer, I'm thankful for all the content posted here by the gang of dedicated homebrewers. Hopefully I can lean on you guys a bit to get my first solid house IPA recipe dialed in. Also pretty pumped on the various tools avaliable here such as the biab calculator.

Thanks,

Dom

Hi all

I'm from Ontario, Canada. Have some experience brewing, come from a family that has always made very nice wine, and made beer in college about 16 years ago. The fancy stuff that consisted of a can of generic malt from the grocery store and sugar. . I was really excited to really get into brewing some real beer around a year ago, but due to space and financial reasons had to postpone all grain brewing. Wish I would have come across this site then! This seems so much simpler. Looking forward to learning tons from this board and brewing my first batch !

Thanks

Thanks for the welcome. Suspect I'll be reading away for the next week or two before I get my equipment and try a batch.

I would be happy to pass on any help I can yettiman. So feel free to msg me.

Hi everybody!

Greetings from Perth, Western Australia! Been doing extract brews with steeped grains for the last few years and have decided to take the plunge into BIAB. Looking forward to being a part of this community and the brewing path this is going to take me down.

Cheers Guys,

Hello everyone.

I`m Guilherme, and live in a tiny little town called Fartura from Brazil (at second semester of 2015, we finally got mapped by google).
Well, about 4 years ago me and a friend had the idea of brewing, but life (my wife) is trick, and only now, and by myself I could do it.
The equipment (BIAB method) is bought, mailed, but not arrived yet, so I never really brewed before, only read about it.

my first four batches are already planned: two Imperial IPAS and two dunkelweizen. Not the same: I got different yeasts, gotta compare them.

Well, this is it. Came here looking for information, and found it. But also found a feeling that I`ll make some friends.

Thank you all.

My name is Johan - Punuk is my wife's special name from me.
I am from South Africa. Have some experience from 20 years back. As I am now retired, I am browsing the internet for more knowledge and decided on BIAB as the preferred method. Hoping te take part on this forum and get some valuable knowledge from the members.

Greetings from Canada In the GTA), been brewing for about a year now, started with a Mr Beer kit, but have moved on to all grain for my past 4 brews.

Look forward to learn from the more knowledgeable and to help out when I can!
